The activity comes two years after the firm announced the project. The company was granted planning permission just before lockdown in March 2020.

At the time, documents showed the hotel would be an Innkeeper’s Lodge. The restaurant was set to be on the ground floor and basement but there was no parking. Some 48 full-time jobs were due to be created.

The firm stated then: “The restaurant will attract additional footfall to this part of the retail core and improve the city centre’s tourism offer.”

The building dates back to 1893. It has been empty since 2017.The building dates back to 1893. It has been empty since 2017.
